Death of Joseph I of Portugal and Succession

After years of ill health, King Joseph I of Portugal died on 24 February 1777, ending a reign begun in 1750.

Joseph I, who had acceded to the Portuguese throne in 1750 at age 36, died on 24 February 1777 following years of ill health. The supplied passages do not specify the place of death, so the Sintra Palace attribution cannot be verified from this evidence.
